It's time to drop the chaos and get on with an election campaign that Democrats can win

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2024/07/putting-this-election-in-perspective.html

Who is the person who benefits the most from the chaos and confusion created in the Democratic party following President Biden's debate performance?

For those who have never read Mary Trump's Too Much and Never Enough I suggest you pick up a copy and take in the insights she provides into the character of her uncle, Donald J. Trump. Given the level of family disfunction she describes, it's quite understandable that her perspective would be one of the results. Essentially, Mary says that Trump is unable to accept any responsibility for wrongdoing or admit mistakes, and he is especially enraged when he is beaten. He cannot put it down, cannot accept the loss and must find a way to get even with the person or persons who defeated him.

She was proven correct in her analysis by Trump's behavior following his election defeat to Joe Biden in 2020. He has, according to her prediction, failed to accept the fact that he lost along with subsequently blaming it on "massive voter fraud," and was incapable of acknowledging the lack of any such evidence, through over 60 different court challenges, some of which turned up evidence that Trump allies had tried to corrupt the vote totals to his advantage.

The biggest enemy in his life is still Joe Biden. President Biden is the one person who legitimately, and rather convincingly, defeated Trump in the 2020 election. And if there was any doubt left in anyone's mind, the current chaos and confusion in the Democratic party, regarding President Biden's fitness to serve a second term, is being instigated and pushed along by Trump interests. He is the one who stands to benefit the most from what could be a very disastrous result for Democrats. And regardless of all possible speculation, there's no question, based on evidence provided by Mary Trump, and from a news media that seems bent on running on rumor, inuendo and unconfirmed "sources."
-------
Billionaires are not proponents of democracy, because it invests power in the people, not in their money interests. So Trump is their guy and they give him the resources he needs to push his candidacy. They also have influence and power, because of the amount of money they control, within the Democratic party. And that's been the key they needed to unlock the door to Biden's vulnerability, which is his age, and try to capitalize on that weakness in order to help Trump back to the Presidency.

Who benefits from ignoring and minimizing Biden’s poor debate performance?

It’s not Joe Biden.

Good example, the beatings Ronald Reagan took at Walter Mondale's hands. Mondale had Reagan cupping his hand behind his ear and muttering. Republicans were pooping bricks. Democrats were in ecstasy. And look how that turned out.
